Thanks to a generous grant from the EU, for establishing an Initial Training Network entitled "Colour Printing 7.0: Next Generation Multi-Channel Printing (CP7.0)," The Norwegian Color Research Laboratory and its project partners now invites applications for 7 three year full- time early stage researcher (PhD student) positions.
PHD 1: "Spectral modelling" at Gjøvik University College, Norway
PHD 2: "Spectral gamut prediction and mapping" at Technische Universität Darmstadt, Germany
PHD 3: "Paper optical and surface properties" at Voxvil AB, Sweden
PHD 4: "Applications in Fine Art" at University of the West of the England, UK
PHD 5: "Halftoning and tonal reproduction" at Linkopings Universitet, Sweden
PHD 6: "Optimization of print quality" at Oce Print Logic Technologies SA, France
PHD 7: "Spectral Colour Management" at Gjøvik University College, Norway
The recruited researchers will be integrated in high-level international research environments at one of the project full partners, Gjøvik University College (Norway), Technische Universität Darmstadt (Germany), Voxvil AB (Sweden), University of the West of England (UK), Linköpings Universitet (Sweden), and Océ Print Logic Technologies SA (France), in close collaboration with other researchers from the CP7.0 consortium which also includes eight industrial and academic associate partners throughout Europe.
In addition to carrying out significant high quality research to solve key challenges in multi-channel colour printing, the recruited candidates will participate in a rich program of organized research training activities, including one half year of secondments to other consortium partners. This program will enable them for a future career as printing scientists and innovators who can be the next generation of scientific and technological leaders in the European printing industry.
The application deadlines vary between partners, but start as early as February 15, 2012. For more details about the project, consortium, research topics, and application procedures please visit http://www.cp70.org, or write to Prof. Jon Y. Hardeberg at jon.hardeberg at hig.no.
